Religious Education Programs

Please note: for the reception of First Holy Communion "children must be enrolled in and attending religious education classes in first and second grade or for one full year prior to the year they prepare for First Eucharist." (Archdiocesan Sacramental Preparation and Guidelines for Children: First Reconciliation and First Eucharist. Copyright 1991.)

The Sacrament of Confirmation is administered in the 11th grade at Sacred Heart of Jesus Church. Confirmation candidates must be enrolled in the Confirmation Preparation Program and attend religious education classes. The preparation period is two-and-a-half years. High school students attending public and private non-sectarian schools must be registered in religious education classes. High school students attending Catholic schools must be registered in the Confirmation process at Sacred Heart of Jesus School of Religion.

Registration Forms:

Registration forms can be mailed to or dropped off at the rectory prior to August 1st. You must be a registered parishioner to enroll your child in the program. If you need to register in the Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish please fill out the parish registration and return that to the rectory as well.
